Christian Horner reveals how F1 team bosses have changed
Horner believes that current F1 team principals sometimes "lack respect" compared to past bosses, attributing this to a shift from entrepreneurial spirit to a more managerial approach.
He noted that while rivalries always existed among previous team principals, there was a common understanding of what was right for the sport.
Horner addressed his reputation as a "pantomime villain," stating that winning often makes one unpopular in the business.
Under Horner's leadership, Red Bull has secured eight drivers' world championships, though Max Verstappen currently trails championship leader Oscar Piastri in the 2025 season.

Liverpool youngster rated highly by Arne Slot closes in on new long-term deal - after making last impression on Reds boss
Liverpool youngster James McConnell is close to signing a new long-term deal at the club and going out on loan for the season. The 20-year-old midfielder, who played several times for the first team last year and made a lasting impression on boss Arne Slot, is missing from the pre-season tour of Asia with a minor injury. It is understood that the pain is just a knock suffered in training and he will have treatment on it this week — with the decision made not to travel to Hong Kong or Japan due to the fact the flight could exacerbate symptoms. He should be fine again in around a week. McConnell has interest from Ipswich, West Brom and Derby in the Championship for a loan deal, while German Bundesliga clubs have also posted their desire to sign him. Some of those teams have proposed an option to buy clause in the deal but Liverpool are believed to not want to sell McConnell as Slot is a big fan. In January, the Dutch manager blocked McConnell's exit as he saw him as part of his plans after shining in a Champions League game away at PSV Eindhoven. The Reds have reached an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt over the signing of Hugo Ekitike McConnell joined the club from Sunderland as a teenager and has played as a No 6 since breaking into the first-team picture. Meanwhile, Liverpool have struck a deal to sign highly-rated striker Hugo Ekitike in a deal worth up to £79million. The Reds had been locked in negotiations with the German side after poaching Newcastle's top target. Ekitike only wanted Liverpool and is set to complete a medical in the coming days. The package is a £69m base fee plus £10m in add-ons which are based on team and player performance. The Frenchman has joined on a six-year deal and he will undergo his medical on Tuesday.

Safestyle windows review: best installer for recycling
Choosing the right windows and double glazing installer can make a significant difference to your home, not only improving insulation and reducing energy bills but also enhancing the overall aesthetic. In our comprehensive Safestyle windows review, we'll explore whether this popular national brand is the right choice for your home. With numerous providers on the market, ranging from smaller local fitters to larger national brands, comparing options can help you get the best double glazing companies for your needs. Consider gathering multiple quotes to better understand the cost of double glazing and typical UK window prices. Our Safestyle windows review assesses key factors including price, guarantee options, coverage, and overall quality. Why choose Safestyle? Area covered: England, Scotland and Wales Founded: 2024 Guarantee: 10 years Best for: National coverage and recycling Safestyle became well-known in North West England due to its quirky TV adverts featuring medieval-clad presenter Jeff Brown promoting buy-one-get-one-free deals, and later, former England goalkeeper David Seaman. However, Safestyle collapsed into administration in 2023 due to rising costs and weakened market demand. The company was bought by rival Anglian Home Improvements, but Safestyle's collapse left some customers with worthless guarantees. It now operates under new ownership but with a similar — though more limited — service range, and Safestyle's offerings place it slightly below Anglian in our list of best double glazing companies. Under Anglian's management, Safestyle continues to offer comprehensive services with a 10-year guarantee and extensive national coverage. One key selling point is its robust recycling policy, whereby your old windows are responsibly removed and recycled. We should note that Safestyle exclusively offers windows made from uPVC, a low-maintenance and durable material, so customers seeking wooden frames for conservation compliance or aesthetic preference will need to look elsewhere. Nonetheless, Safestyle offers an extensive range of uPVC window styles, including sash windows, bay, and triple-glazed options. Like Anglian Home Improvements, Safestyle promises to match competitor quotes and quotes remain valid for six months. Make sure you haggle, and that goes for any supplier on our list. Interestingly, Safestyle discounts are sometimes seen at the 15 per cent mark, rather than the 30 per cent others offer, but there's usually scope to negotiate better deals. As with its owner, Anglian, you can also finance your double glazing through Safestyle, but at a relatively high 12.9% APR, identical to Anglian's offer. Given that most personal loans can offer significantly better interest rates, exploring external finance or using savings could be more financially prudent. Other fitters on this list offer interest-free credit or other favourable payment terms. Pros: Robust recycling policy Extensive uPVC style selection Cons: uPVC frames only Mixed customer reviews Recent financial instability What to look for in a quote According to our research, fitting double glazing for the average three-bed house should cost about £4,500, depending on location and window sizes. Since double glazing isn't an urgent purchase for most homeowners unless windows are broken, there's significant room to negotiate. Buyers often manage to reduce initial quotes significantly, sometimes by as much as half, particularly with larger providers. This may seem unlikely, but it's true. That's because many firms rely on Britons' general discomfort over asking for discounts to make expensive initial offers. They also rely on their competitors doing the same. Haggling gives you the upper hand and also allows some time to research the best price and options. Smaller outfits that feel they need to be more competitive may not be able to drop by as much – use your judgement. As well as this Safestyle review, personal recommendations from trusted friends or family can offer valuable insight into choosing the best double glazing companies. How we made this guide We spoke to customers and fitters across the UK, as well as insiders in the double glazing market to find you the average prices for windows of all styles. They gave us tips on how to negotiate and save money and they told us never to say yes to the first quote you are offered. Why trust us? The Independent has been reporting on green energy and climate matters since it was founded in 1986. Since then, we have written hundreds of reviews and news stories on energy, including the best window fitters, the best window finance and other guides on green power. FAQs Should I get double or triple glazing? While double glazing is the usual choice for a home outside of a heavily restricted planning area, triple glazing could be a good option for some buyers, especially those in windy locations or those on busy, noisy roads. Expect to pay 15-30 percent more than for double glazing. These windows are heavier and available in fewer styles. Finding triple glazed windows in timber and aluminium is difficult. What is the average cost for double glazing? The average cost of a new set of eight uPVC windows for an average three-bedroom home in the UK is currently about £4,500, according to research by The Independent. The price you will pay for a new set of double glazing depends heavily on the style, materials, colours and glazing type of your windows, together with how many you need and where you are in the country. Most buyers opt for white uPVC, which is a type of plastic. It does not rust or rot, an advantage over wood, and it is cheaper than aluminium, the other popular low-maintenance material. It also doesn't bend like aluminium can. Pros:
